cine which impOstoTs usually suggest.

The Scheme Which a Savannah an

A gentleman who had Just returned
from Florida was speaking yesterday OF
his trip.
"fou perhaps know" said he, ''that tn g
real estate dealers down there are pretty
shrewd set. Some of them have been in
the same business in the Western States,
where they no doubt made a practice of
sailing claims and selling out to yerdant
purchasers. Their eloquence can scarce
ly be resisted. By chance l fell into the
hands of one in Middle Florida. He got
me in buggy and drove me all through
his town and over the country for five
miles around. / did not want to invest
and | was miserable for half day. He
talked 80 glibly that l promised to buy
half the property he showed me. When
we got back he wanted me to sign
an agreement and put up a forfeit
on three or tour places which | had adj
mred the most. l was afraid that | was
In hole, but got out of 1t by promising TO
look around at some more lots the next
day. L escaped from the town on the first
train the next morning.
1.-The experience proved of benefit to
me In the next town in which | stopped.
Instead OF going to livery stable and
hiring carriage and a man 10 drive me
around just intimated that thought of
buying grove. In less than half an hour
real estate man was driving me around.
Inc scheme worked well and / tried it In
every place L visited after that. If you
want to go through Florida economically
and see all the objects of interest try it,"

SOME POINTS ABOUT ALASKA
Interesting Facts About the Climate
and the People.


and the People.
The following are extracts from letter
which was received day or two ago by
a gentleman in this city. There are some
who entertain the idea that all of Alaska
is covered all the year around with ice
and snow. This letter is calculated to
correct that impression. 1t was written
at Sitka Jan. IL:
OF course you undoubtedly would like
to know something of this part OF the
continent. In the first place, it ia not a
cold country on the coast; never gets as
cold as countries seven, eight or ten de-
grees south OF here. In the summer,
when tourists visit it, IL is undoubtedly
the most beautiful and pleasant that can
be found. But it is so very eccentric that
it is tiresome. To illustrate: When we
want sunshine it rains, and Just about
the time you have become resigned for
another three months rain. out comes
the sun. SO you know it will
rain again in a few days. Again
you are disappointed, because 1t may hold
off for month, sometimes two. You
want to go somewhere-everythin is
done by water-the weather looks bad,
and the barometer is falling-you dare
not start. 1t is calm, very calm, for sew
eral days. You damn all weather inyeu-
tions, start, and before you go ten miles
you are hunting a safe cove--and so it is
winter and summer. 1t commenced rain
ing on the 18th day Of last August. From
that time until the 9th day of November
we had eight days of sunshine. In Octo-
Der it slanted over and showed on and off
for week. From the 9th of November
until the 9th of December we had mixed
weather. From the 9th to the 9th of the
present month there had not been cloud
in the sky, with just enough frost to
brace up the air of morning. Since
that time, o Lord, how IL has rained.
"Queer, amt it?"
The inhabitants here are as queer as
the weather. The native woman rules
the noble wash-lndian-with an
iron rod. She wears the trousers
il they have any. She works,
fights, and makes him do his share and
nurse the baby to boot--a kind of Anna
Zonian race, ready TO take a hand at a
feast, fight or drunk. She dispOses OF
her girls to suit herself, provided the girls
are willing, marries her son-in-law if she
likes, but no other relative; buys, sells
and trades, and steps around "cocK of the
walk"

AT THE THEATkE.
A Crowded House Greeted Mr.. Ray
mond Last Night.

mona Last Night.
The Savannah Theatre was crowded
last night. Mr.. John T. Raymond in
"The Woman Hater'' was the attraction.
The play fits MIN splendidly, and his part
of samuel Bundy'' is one of the finest he
has ever had. If "Mulberry Sellers'' or
''The Magistrate" or any other of the
plays he has made hits in had never been
written he would soon acquire wide
reputation az samuel Bundy."
"The Woman Hater'' ia something more
than mature bachelor in point of age.
He is supposed TO be impressionless, but
in the innermOst part Of his heart ne has,
as matter of fact, a very warm spot for
the tender sex. He especially dOtes on
widows, preferring them, as he states,
with recommendation from the last
place.
1t seemed to be embarrassing for him
to make the first proposal. even after
waiting anXiOusly fifteen years for a
chance. In Il short space of time there
after he finds himself engaged to three
widows. The last act, which is laid in
private insane asylum, is SO grotesquely
cOmical that the audience was kept in
al almost continuous laugh.
Mr.. RaymOnd's makeup was an odd
conceit. Everything he said and did
threatened to send the audience into hys-
terics. The Comedians personality per-
vades the play and makes it the success
it is.
His support is quite good, notably Miss
helen Tracy and Mrs. Octavia Allen, two
of the designing widows.
Tonight Mr.. Raymond will appear in
his old and familiar character, "Col. Null
berry Sellers"

dence OF Capt. John J.. Hammond on
CASTOR street. II was a children's party,
aId very pretty party it was-pretty
because the children were pretty, and be-
cauee their costumes were picturesque
and pretty.
There were about sixty children pres-
ent, and they entered into the spirit Of
the occasion with Zest that was pleas
ant TO see. The characters represented
were as numerous as the children, and
both taste and skill were shown in the
representations. Many of the costumes
were not only exceedingly appropriate,
but showed that great care had been
taken in designing them.
The party assembled at 8 O'CLOCK, and
the masks were removed at O'Clock. AT
O'Clock, or little after, refreshments were
served, and at 10 O'Clock the party was
over. The children present have the sat
isfaction of having participated in as
charming an entertainment as has been
given in the city this winter.

delightful one. 1t is expected that these
entertainments will be repeated from

The first official application OF the inter-
state commerce law is made by the Iowa
Board of Railroad Commissioners.
| Some time since Coy. Larrabee COM
planned that whereas the Chicago, Bur-
lingtOn and Quincy road charged the
| State 81 so per ton for hauling coal to Glen
wood, for the use of the Asylum for Fee
BILE Minded, the rate from the same place
to Council Bluffs-Uwenty miles further
for the use Of the Deaf and Dumb Asy-
ium, was 81 % ton. The Governor
held that since the rate to Council Bluffs
was voluntary it was reasonable charge,
and the higher rate for shorter distance
was eXorbitant. The railway company
commended that the rate made at Council
Bluffs was very low and gave them but
little excess in cost, because the active
competition compelled them to cut rates.
They said at Glenwood they had TO return
empty cars, and from Council Bluffs they
did not.
The State Commission discussed the
matter fully and close their findings thus:
1.-The rule now being as to Interstate COM
MERGE that the charge should not be great
er for a shorter than longer distance, to
allow different rule for local freight
would throw all the inequalities of which
so much complaint has been made upon
domestic commerce, to which we cannot
consent The Commissioners are salts
fed that the section will be engrafted into
the State legislation, and that the ques-
ton may as we'll be met now as any time.
With this view, while possibly they enter
tain some doubts as to it's effect on the gen.
eral shipping interests, the Commission
ers would advise the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy Railroad Company to revise
It's tariff to comply with the provisions of
the Interstate cOmmarca law,
